LupX Wolfnote Eliminator

Pros: I bought this for my daughter just before her grade 8 exam. She was so happy to have a wolfnote eliminator that finally suppressed the problem. She passed with a merit and we are all very happy.

Cons: Nothing to dislike

Pros: So firstly this is a well made item which looks good on the cello. I have a mid 19th century German cello with a horrendous wolf note on E natural 4th position G string. Pretty much putting the LupX anywhere on any of the strings silenced the wolf. However, depending on the position, it would move the wolf note, or change the tone of one of the open strings, sometimes for better, sometimes for worse.

Cons: Moved the wolf note, could not find a truly satisfactory position, with either a new wolf note (albeit in a less used position) or unacceptable tone of an open string

Other: In the end, I tried it on pretty much every position below the bridge on every string. I was never truly satisfied and I eventually found a point where it was 'acceptable'. I decided just to see the difference, to buy a Toute mute. It got rid of the wolf straight away, improved the tone of my D string, and has not moved the wolf tone. I would try a tourte mute first as they are so cheap, then go for this

Pros: easy to fit does the job

Cons: none

Other: It's very easy to fit and it seems to do the job. All you need to do is where exactly you need to put this on. By the way, this is what my daughter said.
